Bought 2 vintage tins from what I was told, 1956. Both were sealed amazingly well, with some moisture, but probably a little dry. Upon openening, instantly met with hints of dried fruit and brown sugar. I suggest of you get as lucky as I did, you buy it if its got the same age.
According to the tin label it was made in Denmark. Light Virginia/Oriental blend with a lot of bottom since the tin I had was from the 1980s. Cool looking tin.
What can I say, I smoked it to extinction, it was that good. My research led me to understand that the tins I acquired we're from the earliest of 1969, and the latest the 1980's since they had not changed the tin style till then. There was some sort of magic happening as it aged, and all I know, is if I knew then what I know now, I'd have sat on at least a couple of tins... no, who am I kidding, I'd smoke 8lbs of it all over again.
